Then we can start sightseeing with the famous Gandan Monastery. Then we can start sightseeing with the famous Gandan Monastery. The monastery was founded in 1727 and was badly damaged in 1937 during the Stalinist terror in Mongolia, and several buildings were even destroyed. The complex remained closed until 1944, only then was there a conditional re-use of the temples that had been preserved. Until the end of the Mongolian People's Republic, the Gandan Monastery was the only monastery in all of Mongolia in which religious ceremonies - under the control of the secret police - were allowed to take place. But today it has become a peaceful and beloved place for Mongolians. It will always be something special.

After enjoying the first Mongolian meal, visit the newly built Chinggis Khan Museum with rich treasures and go to Sukhbaatar Square, which played a major role in the 1921 People's Revolution.
